I know many people who have children and are not adults. And someone who never have kids will never be adult ?
replyYes. When you don't have kids you can always quit the game/rat race one way or another if it gets too much. With kids - it is different. Kids are the only burden you can't easily shrug off in this life.
replyI assume you grew up in different circles than me. I have seen countless kids shrugged off growing up poor and around drug addiction. I have heard the rich shrug them off to boarding school sometimes.
replySo you’ve never seen parents quit and neglect their kids ? That does not exists ?
replyI have seen of course. But the point is - if you abandon everything in life right now while childless you are not a failure as human being. It is your right to say fuck it all at any moment. If you abandon your kids you are.
replyAgreed, but it proves the point that having kids does not makes you an adult
replySo people without children never become adults? Strange rule.
replyAlso not quite what the article is about.
According to the article that's what 25% of people think.
